No Forwarding Address

I then had plenty of time to enter Thailand with the LTR e-visa print out. Thank you for the information, very helpful, is there a time limit that you have to use the e-Visa if you are not ready to travel?? Cheers

How is it deposited?? If in a UK Bank account, then no you're not bringing money into Thailand. I would suspect he pays taxes on his income in Bangkok so taxes have been paid - all is good. Cheers

The only ways I know are "getting a second passport and being a Native American and living on a Reservation". Big misconception is you don't have to pay US taxes after being overseas after so many years........The long arm of the IRS will come and get you, there are lot's of people in jail for income tax evasion..........don't do it. You can take a Foreign Income Tax deduction if Thailand ever taxes your income, but I don't see that affecting most people here. Cheers

This is all good information, very clear and concise. One question, I am currently in USA for at least the next 6 months, do you know if I can apply for the LTR Visa here, or do I have to be in Thailand? Closest Consulate is in California, I am in Hawaii, I would have to mail my passport to them.........Thanx again for informative post. Cheers

Okay, I'll jump in, who drives on Thai roads at high speed at 3:30 AM - Drunks - and crab fishermen?? something doesn't add up.

Wow, 36 pages in four days, gotta be some kind of record..........speaking of which, why the worry, it hasn't been implemented yet because they haven't a clue on how to implement it. I wait with abated breath. peace

Let him escape, then shoot him dead................should square things with the little one.

I was stationed here in the Army, 71-74, back then the executions were public even televised on all three TV stations..........believe me, it had a definite effect on local population..........punishments so severe, they just didn't do it very often. The world could learn a lot from them back in 60's/70's. There is a place in this worl for capital punishment, shouldn't spend years on death row either, couple weeks is long enough. Peace

Rest in Peace little one, hope he rots in hell or reincarnates as a slug..........Peace

Eligible for parole after six months, with time off for good behavior, reduced to time served in Hospital - wouldn't be surprised at all...........good luck to him, then we can get on with our lives.........Cheers

As of 15 August, there are 90 day Visa's in Vietnam, can be extended once then a border run for another 90 days so on so forth. Hopefully they will reinstate the six month Visa for US applicants.........used to have a one year tourist visa for US folks, but that was years ago, no hope of that being resurrected. Cheers

Thanks for the graph........my pensions are taxed in USA before I get them, I assume Thailand, USA ,and many other countries, has a bi-lateral tax agreement. So I assume pensions will be exempt, but if not, Vietnam and Cambodia are looking better all the time. I love Thailand but this is becoming ridiculous. I would expect the hundreds of You Tubers, and even more digital nomads will have to provide income records, if so, we will see fewer people walking around holding a stick with a cell phone on it, bumping into everyone. I suppose we shall wait & see once they flesh this new 'law' out and provide specifics.

Naah, I think he was describing his own country...........wandered into the wrong forum I suppose.

Rest in Peace Mr Wachira you had your reasons, right or wrong, and blamed yourself for the death of the other officer...........Peace

In his mind, he is not with a Man, but a Woman.......have known several couples like that in my day, to each his/her own. Now if he will just stay of Social Media they may have a good life together. Peace

I used too until I saw the fleet of New Pajeros with the Soi Dog Foundation on them, I now support TMWRD Foundation. I am neither a dog lover nor hater, but believe in my money going toward the purpose, not so someone has a nice car to ride around in. Peace

It may have taken them two years to formulate their tourist visa plans, but only two weeks to approve and sign into law.........not hemming and hawing or protesting from every tom, dick, or harry MP like Thailand, that is all I was trying to convey. Subject of this post is "PM looking into extending tourist visa's to 90 days". and Vietnam has done it already, only after two weeks from proposal. As for the other parts of your post I have no argument, it wasn't part of my post, go cast your fishing line in another klong. Cheers

Not really off-topic, but Vietnam just approved the 90 day tourist eVisa on 15 August 2023.......was 30 days .then you had to do a visa run......totally on line, application fee is $25 USD, then you pay ?? at the airport for the actual visa. Certain categories of marriage visa's are 3,5, or 10 years in length. Took them a whole two weeks to approve this change to their Visa Laws, wonder why it takes Thailand months, years or not at all. Cheers

Beat me too it.............????

Jeez, so many twists and turns, you need a map to navigate, even then it would confuse us all. It's like the skit with Abbot & Costello "Who's on First". Maybe they are waiting for Tony Taksin to come back and straighten things out - he is the Donald Trump of Thailand. Cheers

Just bought the 16" MacBook Pro M2 chip 32gb ram...........have had Mac's since 1996, one is a 17" - 9 years old, and is still being used for TV today...............love this new Mac - expensive?? how many people can say they use the same computer for 5,6,7 years............you get what you pay for. Cheers

Hello Folks, Concerning SCBEasy.net. I tried last night and of course the banner (all in Thai) came up that the SCBEasy.net had been discontinued on 07/15/23, after a few try's, was able to download the mobile app - but there is an accessability setting on my phone that I need, but blocks the app from opening. I am not in Thailand at this time, don't expect to get back till end of year............question is, how can I continue to check my balances if the mobile app won't open?? Any ideas.........would save me a lot of anxiety - always checked at least once a week on the scbeasy.net site on my computer - never use my phone for anything 'cept talk n text, once in awhile for new or directions. Cheers

a fool and his money will soon be parted............

I used to think that, then 15 years later figured out it makes no difference to the Thai Govt what we think.............we are a non-entity so why get our knickers in an uproar over a couple hundred baht?? Life's too short
